Poster Information

Use this page to save information and pictures to be used by your group to create your poster.

What needs to be on your poster:
-Needs to diagram a food web of the ecosystem, showing the ultimate source of energy.
-Need to label the organisms as either autotroph or heterotroph.
-Heterotrophs need to be further labeled as herbivore, carnivore, omnivore, detritivore.
-Water cycle, carbon-oxygen cycle, nitrogen cycle, and phosphorus cycles need to be shown on the other side with organisms from their ecosystem.
